Post subject:  How to access remote data (video/image/music) from mythtv?

Hi,
I tried to search this but could not find any answers. I have a windows machine which has an external hard drive attached to it. I have stored all my pictures/music/home videos on it. I want to access them via my myth box. What do I do? How do I configure the font end to talk to the other machine?


    I guess I will have to install an ftp/http server at the main computer and host my content from there, then configure mythtv to read that data via http or ftp port.

    Also, can I bring the external hard drive and hook it up to mythbox? And enable mythtv to read that data. What configurations will I need to perform in this situation?


Any idea/help would be much appreciated!

cando,

STOP! You don't need to install anything, everything that you need is already included in both KnoppMyth and Windows. Have look at these two KnoppMyth Wiki articles and if you have a particular question please ask.
